    97D "T" with bug antennas!

    I just thought this was a funny looking coin! Neat looking PSD that was pulled out of the top of the last "T" in TRUST that looks like bug antennas.

        I assumed they were, the coin is long gone. I didn't test it but it looked to be zinc pulled from the top of the "T".

        Sorry Cliff, I actually meant that I assumed it was in relief. Being pulled from the "T", it would have been misplaced metal.

          You can see corresponding damage on the T and the rim, so it seems likely that it was damage.

            That was definitely neat.
            But it seemed suspiciously too symmetrical to be random.
            I thought maybe a retained wire clip of some type where the top was stuck in the cross of the "T"

              I guess it could have been done on purpose but seems like a lot of work. I think it was just random damage that just resulted in what you see though. There looks to be some decent wear since it happed too, so I wouldn't think someone would go through all that trouble just to put it in circulation.
